Why DrupalCon? Getting in touch with community and

spirit Profit from information first hand Any level, any area Networking with Drupal community Networking with CERN community Advanced Training opportunities Large Scale Drupal with 3 rep?

Large Scale Drupal - LSDA membership program for the largest users of Drupal

Community within the larger Drupal community to foster: networking, knowledge sharing, education and community

engagement work on collaborative projects

Leverage Economies of ScaleGiving back and making major contributions to Drupal platform

Large Scale Drupal - LSDOrganizations are Reinventing the Wheel

....behind closed doors

Creating incompatible solutions to the same problems Not releasing these solutions back to the community

Large Scale Drupal - LSDEven organizations with the best intentions, the desire to give back, often fail to do so

Short term focus - desire to quickly solve a problem, no time to put in “extra effort” now (at a huge cost later)

Don’t release code b/c they want to add “polish” for release to the public - but never have time to actually do that

The fear that if you do release something, you won’t have the time to support and engage the community after the fact

Large Scale Drupal - LSDMembers Currently limited to large organizations, “end users” of Drupal Exclusive: for companies making a strategic bet on Drupal

Member Networking private events - quarterly membership conferences peer to peer - meet and learn from each other local events - engage your local community global events - engage the broader community

Large Scale Drupal - LSDGoals

Knowledge sharing, education and trainingnetworking events, online forums, webinars, white papers, news letters, etc.

Collaborative ProjectsIdentify common problems through member input & feedbackAnonymize and aggregate common needs, into “StrategicAreas of Interest”

Large Scale Drupal - LSDStrategic Areas of Investment

Content Authoring Mobile Content Staging Performance & Scalability Security DEVOPS (Reliable software releases through test, and

deployment automation)

Large Scale Drupal - LSDBusiness Case Example: Views = module funded by Sony

Sony could have built views internally - they didn’t have to release the code

The community has added millions of dollars worth of enhancements

Sony NEVER could have created such a system, even if they had invested more money then the community added; a SIGNIFICANTLY great value / system

Large Scale Drupal - LSDFuture Projects

Short Term Value, More Projects Shift toward smaller (but still meaningful) projects

LSD can’t afford to do 3 projects like CSI at the same time LSD can afford to do 3 or more smaller projects

Peer to Peer Collaborations Members also want to work together on their own projects

Large Scale Drupal - LSDBenefits for CERN

Auto-matchmaking of needs

Community support problem and missing advanced training:LSD can help carbonizing community
